They have an ancient tradition but an extremely modern heart, which has made them a must have in men's fashion.

When even a historic global fashion giant like Armani promotes a garment or an accessory, it means that that novelty has truly managed to make its way into the heart of the fashion sector.

At the origins of espadrilles

In the roots of the espadrilles there is a dual nature, which intersects France and Spain . Their name, in fact, is French and derives from the Occitan language, spoken in the southern area of ​​France. The term, however, is borrowed from the Catalan espardenya , which indicated shoes made of espart , a Mediterranean plant from which a very robust fibre, useful for making ropes, was extracted. And it is precisely in Catalonia and the Basque country that espadrilles made their fortune, starting out as peasant footwear and becoming, century after century, style icons for export, first essentially for women, then also for men. Over time, the models have also multiplied, and today both open and closed types can be found. The first espadrilles boom occurred in the 1940s in the United States . They were then brought back into vogue by the TV series Miami Vice , in the 1980s. Finally, since the 2000s, these comfortable and fresh shoes have established themselves as a must have in summer fashion.
